This Gets Better, Right?!

Weak? Sleppy? My sister felt like that and that was due she was taking too much pain medicine

I was sleeved on 11/14. I was feeling great the 1st couple days after surgery, ironing clothes, walking, shopping, took a ferry to Coronado, went to Chucke cheese. Then this past Wed everything came to a screeching halt when I went to Sea World. I was struggling to breath, felt feverish, pissed because I'm thirsty but couldn't drink but a sip. I was nauseous & my vision even started to blur. Energy ran slap out. I've basically been in bed every since then trying to regain energy. I go back to work on Monday & starting to feel nervous. I know this will get better once once my diet progresses, but this is my reality.

I added double strength milk to a can of cream of potato soup and blended it. I haven't had Popsicles, I'm scared to try anything too cold

My surgery was this past wednesday. I'm still on the clear liquid phase for one more day. I don't know how people get in.64 oz of Water or fluids so far I got 40 oz in 1 tsp Jello and 20 oz of Isopure. I need 24 more oz of fluids and 10 more oz of Protein. How the hell and I'm super full and super gassy? Can't wait until Monday when I can add some diversity. Hopefully I can get my water up by then.

If you got in 40oz of Water and 20oz of Isopure (clear liquid) then you've had 60 oz of liquid. Just because the liquid has Protein in it doesn't make it not liquid

[crickee 85]

I was sleeved Tuesday, I am getting in about 60 gr of Protein and my fluids. The only problem I am having is my body still thinks its in the hospital (I had to stay 2 nights) since they wake you every 2 hours for vitals. I haven't slept a full night since before the surgery. I only got about 4 hrs of sleep last night, but I think I may have been napping too much, which I decided to stop today. I am not taking the liquid pain meds they gave me as of today, they make me sleepy and groggy. I drove to Walmart this afternoon and walked around with my boys, I am hoping that I will get a good nights sleep in. I am supposed to go back to work next Thursday, but won't if I am not sleeping great at night. I also start the pureed stage Tuesday, and can't wait.

I have always bounced back quickly from surgery, getting in and out of bed doesn't hurt today for me. Take your time, everyone is different. It will get better!

Yes people have been telling me that but according to my surgeon it is totally separate. Hmmm.

As im reading u guys postings, I noticed that some of you are returning to work 1and2weeks after surgery. Is that possible and is it your own decision or your surgeons

OMG HOOOW?! Share your secret! Lol I'm freaking out over not being able to get in either.

What Vitamins are you guys taking?

It was suggested to take at least 2 weeks off. I'm a teacher, so it's hard enough to take 1 day off. I only took 3 days off, but I've had the week of Thanksgiving also as we were out the whole wk. I'm returning to work on Monday. I'm a bit nervous b/c my energy level has dropped significantly. It was my decision to not take off more than 3 days.

I'm a teacher, too. I'm taking two weeks off. My surgery fell on Thanksgiving weekend, so I only missed three days last week. If my body was ready, I would go back sooner. I left detailed plans for my sub. I gave my students incentives for good behavior and completed assignments. I want to heal adequately before I go back to my high stress job...
